He wasn't anyone's first choice, most wanted Bernie.
I and a few others wanted Elizabeth Warren.
Regardless of all that Bidden has two redeemable characteristics, he isn't an insane criminal like his predecessor and he is concerned with the well being of the American people and has plans for how to get there, his predecessor didn't.
His plan isn't nearly Progressive enough. The only time we've really tried Progressive policies was with FDR as president, and it made us so rich it financed "The Good Old Days" of the 50's.
It wasn't the conservatism of the time that made Americans rich, conservatism always leads to economic collapse.
It's recorded there in history to read and learn from.
